I usually catch him looking at me. He was a stranger, but his eyes mirror familiarity. I didnt know he had the guts to ask me, but he did. He asked to walk me to the terminal home. I said yes, not knowing that it would mark a turn in my life. The city was wrapping up with the night, and I was fascinated by how a lot of little lights brigthen it up. I was quiet, not sure of what to say. But then he suddenly took it all away. That was when he told me about himself. Of who he really is, and of what makes him that way. I then realized that behind the mask he wears lies a hero who, throughout his whole life, strived to fight for his fate. I listened to him, surprised how much he could tell me, but I was amazed. I was awed by the true persona that glittered beyond the rock. He smiled for the first time that night, and I was breathless. He waved goodbye when we reached the station, and watched the bus drive away. I opened the window and let the wind blow on my face that night. The music was perfect for that moment, but it was the walk I remembered. Because it changed my life. It gave way to my forever.
